Fold and Cut Theorem
Hello! I have been trying to create a non symmetrical trapezoid and a non-convex pentagon using the fold and cut theorem but have been struggling. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do this since the shapes I need to make are not symmetrical. Thank you!

Re: Fold and Cut Theorem
(Since this appears to be a homework problem, I won’t give the full solutions.)
For the trapezoid, extend the bases until they intersect and fold the angle bisector.
The pentagon is a little more complicated. I would start with folding bisectors at the tips.
Good luck!

Check out this article https://erikdemaine.org/foldcut/.
You'll want to construct the straight skeletons for those polygons.
I don't think this is giving too much away
